Telehealth options are now available in Colorado for fast access to COVID-19 treatments Coloradans can access telehealth over the phone; high-speed internet is not required

Coloradans who test positive or think they have COVID-19 can use telehealth to access treatment options faster. COVID-19 treatment works best if you take it within a few days of feeling sick or testing positive. Telehealth can help speed up the process of accessing treatment, especially for Coloradans in rural areas or others who can’t access an in-person appointment fast enough.

Telehealth means connecting with a doctor over the phone or through a video call. Using telehealth, a doctor can assess you and, if appropriate, give you a treatment plan that meets your needs. Coloradans who have a health care provider can ask them if telehealth is an option for learning more about COVID-19 treatment. People who don’t have a provider, or whose provider doesn’t offer telehealth, may be able to access a telehealth provider directly. Many commercial insurance companies provide telehealth services for their members. People should contact their insurance company to learn if telehealth services are available through their plan. This could help avoid out-of-pocket costs.

Additionally, CDPHE has identified certain telehealth services that offer same-day or next-day appointments for Coloradans seeking treatment. Some of these services may accept private insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid. Be sure to read through each company’s information carefully to determine if they accept your insurance, and double-check with them when making an appointment.

Visit our telehealth treatment providers webpage to learn more about telehealth options for Coloradans. The list of telehealth companies on this page does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by CDPHE. Other telehealth companies operating in Colorado may not be listed there. The list of telehealth providers may change as CDPHE continues to enroll companies offering these services.
